welcome back. earlier this month, republican mike kaufman told a group of right wingers that president obama is not an american. he followed that stunt with this bizarre performance. i think that, i stand by my statement that i misspoke and i apologize. who are you apologizing to? i stand by my statement that i spoke and i apologize. coffman offered another halfhearted apology posted in the denver post. now he s making the rounds on right wing radio and admits he is walking back his assertion for political reasons. were you just at that moment speaking what was in your heart and are you now feeling you need to walk it back for political reasons? to some extent that s true
because we believe an educated world is a better world. are up for re-election in this upcoming cycle. up for re-election next year who voted today for the paul ryan republican budget in the u.s. senate. no democrats voted for it. only republicans. and these republican senators are all up for re-election this
that what was happening with that terrible plan that came from the house was destroying medicare, as we know it, and people of new york spoke and spoke loud ly. this is a district that jack kemp represented. this is a district that has for 40 years or more been republican. so the republicans should wake up and understand their budget is not good for the american people and we re not going to stand for it. they re not going to stand for it. why have you scheduled a vote on that budget on the paul ryan budget for the senate for tomorrow? we re going to do it within the next 24 hours. okay. the reason i did that is when they had their horrible hr-1 they kept criticizing me, why won t reid let us vote on it. why won t reid let us vote on that? so, we finally had a vote on that. there won t be any finally this time. we hahave decided to vote on it.
if you want to get a sense of how urgently democrats are moving to box republicans in to get them on record voting to kill medicare. voting for the paul ryan budget so the whole country turns against their local republican killing candidate the way new york 26 turned against theirs last night, there was an awkward thing that happened at the start of my interview with harry reid today in washington. something that i didn t really understand at the time, but now i do. watch. why have you scheduled a vote on that budget on the paul ryan budget for the senate for tomorrow? i understand we re going to do it within the next 24 hours. i say tomorrow, he says within the next 24 hours. when i got to the capitol my interview today with senator reid, the plan for the senate democrats is sometime tomorrow, sometime thursday the senate would vote on the paul ryan medicare kill thing tomorrow. i got that word confirmed right
made by any company ever in the world, almost beats its own record with a little help from you. and we have to visit our department of corrections tonight. some erroneous reporting i did last night. and the subject of my correction will probably be sorry that i took the time. but take the time i shall. we start, though, with sort of a good news, bad news day. if you are the guy who was just appointed to replace sex scandal republican john ensign. when mr. ensign resigns from the united states senate next week. the good news, if you re that guy, is that public policy polling just released its nevada poll on how people would vote if the guy who was just apointed to ensign s seat, dean heller, if he was up against the democrat who wants that seat, has proven fundraising ability, and of course has national name recognition.
